Title: Improvements in and relating to Weft Forks of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: SMITH EDWARD
IPC: D03D51/34
Filed: 1910-03-26
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 7504. Smith, E., and Smith, H. March 26. Stop-motions, weft; stop-motions, shuttle; weft forks.-The usual weft grate is dispensed with by mounting on a spindle 7, Figs. 3 and 4, below the spindle 3 of the ordinary weft fork 4, a supplementary weft fork 6, the prongs thereof being adapted to pass between the prongs of the weft fork 4. A bar 8 carried by the weftfork hammer 13 acts upon a compound lever 14, an arm 14<A> of which acts upon an arm 7<B> on the boss of the fork 6, thereby raising the fork against the action of a spring 9 hooked on a pin 10 on the fork 6 and passing through the spindle. This spindle has several holes, through one of which a split pin 12 is inserted after turning the spindle to the position necessary to give the required tension to the spring 9. The tappet or crank for operating the weftfork hammer is provided with an arm, the end of which gives a slow preliminary movement to the lever of the weft-fork hammer before the boss of the arm comes into contact with the said lever and thus gives a rapid movement to the weft-fork hammer. During the preliminary movement, the bar 8 moves away from the lever 14, which is then oscillated by the action of a coiled spring 15, and, the arm 14<A> being withdrawn from the arm 7<B>, the fork 6 is rocked downwards by the spring 9, and the weft W, if present, is gripped between the forks 4, 6, whereby the fork 4 is raised from the weft-fork hammer. If the weft is not present, the weft-hammer engages the fork in the usual way to stop the loom. During the further movement of the fork, the bar 8 is moved farther away from the lever 14, which is then rocked further by the spring 15, and an arm 14<B> acts upon the arm 7<A> of the fork 6, thereby raising the fork to allow the shuttle to pass. The fork 4 is threaded to receive a screw 17, which rests on a plate 2<A> connecting the side plates of the frame 2 of the weft fork, this screw being adjusted so as to raise the hooked end 4<A> of the fork clear of the surface 13<A> of the weft-fork hammer. A projecting guard 16 secured to the frame 2 receives the pressure of a shuttle which has made a short pick, the weftfork apparatus being moved thereby and the usual bar 1 stopping the loom, and damage to the fork prongs being thus prevented.

Title: Methods of Producing Ammonia or its Compounds.
IPC: C01C1/24
Filed: 1911-03-02
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 5282. Elektrochemische Werke Ges. March 3, 1910, [Convention date]. Ammonia.-The catalytic 'reduction of nitrogen oxides to ammonia by hydrogen or by a gas containing hydrogen and carbonic oxide or by a hydrocarbon is effected in the presence of a catalytic agent, the amount of which is small in comparison with the bulk of its porous carrier or which but partly covers the surface of non - porous carriers. By this precaution, the decomposition of the already-formed ammonia is avoided. The temperature at which the reaction takes place depends on the proportion of the catalytic agent to carrier, and the activity of the catalytic agent. Thus with a low proportion of a weakly-acting contact agent, a high temperature would be required. To prevent decomposition of the ammonia, the process is carried out in vessels made of indifferent materials such. as chamotte-porcelain, or in metallic vessels lined with these materials.
